Tangled Lives

 Okay Sam...I've rested...now tell me what you see in my eyes...I remember seeing so much in Wolf's eyes...
You're sure you want to hear what I have to say, Red? It isn't pretty...
Give it to me Sam...all of it...
I see so much in your eyes, Red...you don't hide much these days...I can see straight to your heart...see your inner story...

Once upon a time there was a little girl who believed in Fairy tales...wanted her prince charming to come rescue her and live happily ever after...but it didn't happen...her prince charming turned out to be the meanest man in the woods...she escaped him, only to run right into the arms of the Big Bad Wolf...she thought he was the one that would make her happy...be her Once In a Lifetime Love...but Wolf hurt her even worse...threw her away...didn't give her a chance...didn't give her anything...but he still haunts that little girl...wanders into her dreams...he can't stay away...she hurts so badly she is afraid to love...afraid to give her heart...so she keeps it tightly wrapped in duck tape...if that little girl who lives inside of you would just give love another try she might be surprised at the result...
But, Sam...I've tried and it is too hard...that little girl inside was hurt way too much to risk again...I can only be me...

 I wasn't good enough for Wolf...I'm not good enough for anyone...if I took the duck tape off, my heart would reveal the pieces it is in...some pieces are missing...I can't repair it...no one can...not even you Sam...

Wolf could Red...he wants to, but he doesn't know how...he's stuck in a life that he hates...and too weak to make the changes he wants...feel sorry for him Red....he has made his own hell...he looks for you...can't stay away...even when he knows you know...he still comes...he wants you happy and it is killing him that he can't be all you believed him to be...
I believed in him for so long, Sam...it's not there anymore...I don't believe in anything...he destroyed me...
He destroyed himself too, Red...
And I'm supposed to feel bad for him?
Maybe not, but understand why he keeps looking...he knows he destroyed you and himself too...he keeps hoping to find hope...he had that when you believed in him....
He knows how to make me believe again, Sam...but he can't...won't...
But remember what you said, Red? You told him to stop, unless he meant to make it right between you...
So what, Sam?
He hasn't stopped Red....
Oh...........
